I dug some Iris rhizomes one year and forgot to plant them. They planted themselves right were I had laid them, they are resilient little buggers! 🌸💚🙃

Wow! Those are some massive rhizomes. They must have been in the ground for years. I love reblooming irises! Mine have never gotten that large. I’m in Southern California in zone 10a.

Just starting my Iris garden, very informative & helpful for a starter. Thanks.

Timely info, I have alot to divide this fall. I didn't know that the top of the rhizome should show! Thanks for your time, the neighbors' noise didn't bother me. 😻

Iris are one of my favorites in the Garden. Great video full of so much useful info 😊

They do look like lobsters!! They are confusing plants to figure out how to divide but this was great info, very detailed- thanks!

I left some iris rhizomes on my lawn for the entire summer last year. They were gifted to me, and I had no idea where to put them, so I just left them on the lawn. No pot. Just the rhizome clumps. Finally got around to dividing them up in the fall. Planted them all and didn't have much for expectations due to my neglect. They all grew lovely this year, bloomed. Iris are super resilient.

I just recently found your channel Jenny, and I’m always so excited to see your new posts! Love your gardens and all your great information.. 👩🏻‍🌾🌻🪴

I have been watching all your videos! Glad to have found you & thanks for great informative videos. Want to have beautiful landscape in my yard in East Tennessee!

I am now IN ‘IT to WIN’it!

Very interesting. Learn something new every time. Never knew that some bloom twice a year. Thank you 🌻

Thanks for the tips! I enjoy your videos!👍

Such a great video.💚

Oh yes totally need to sort mine out and start to divide soon 💕 wonderful video Jenny you’ve done a grand job 🌸💕🌸

Love your videos.

Well done! A good tutorial for sharing.

Awesome teaching video helps alot

Perfect Jenny, just ordered some Iris for the first time. Very informative..😘

Thanks Jenny . Now I know why my irises I transplanted last year haven't bloomed 😣

Thanks. Jenny. Now I know why my some of my iris didn't bloom. Mom grew iris and I love them.

Jenny you would know when you find an iris bore, they are like a big larvae that has bored inside the rhizome of the plant....(that area is usually called the "toe" by iris growers) When you find an iris bore all you need to do is cut it out and kill it and that will save the rest of the plant. Another thing is that sometimes on the older toes you could have a node developing that would be another flower, if you throw them in the compost you might have some new growth for a surprise in the compost bin. lol

They do look like lobsters!!!! Every time I see iris I'm going to think lobsters now lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This was very informative, Jenny. I've avoided tall bearded iris because I don't particularly care for their blooms. I have lots of Siberian iris. Maybe I'll give them another try and pick colors I want and not what the previous homeowner had. 😃

My Gaura took several years to create the wispy shoots you mentioned. I have a "mis-fit" area for my plants behind my shed. I put plants there that aren't performing in my regular garden, but I just can't get rid of. Many times, they redeem themselves and just look wonderful. I've also cut flowers from this area, without impacting the look of the rest of my garden. Last year, I tested some Yarrow that I grew from seed. I was afraid they would be too tall for my regular garden, so I placed them here. They worked out just fine, so I can move them to my regular garden. It's a nice space to experiment with. Also, I can use the area to let plants overwinter if I don't yet have a place for them elsewhere.

Hi Jenny love your details! Is there a general rule on when and how to divide reblooming iris?

Great tutorial! I’m too shaded for irises, but found the process fascinating😊. Zone 3b 🇨🇦

Thank you! Do rabbits eat irises?

This is perfect timing! My variegated irises have borers. 😞 I decided to discard one entirety and the other two I am waiting for cooler weather to dig them up, inspect and replant. I definitely planted them too deep intially so this time I know how to plant them properly! Thanks for the info!

Perfect timing! Thanks. Do you ever cut the long dangly roots a bit shorter?

Learned something new today. Mine don’t bloom so well because they’re buried too deep. Thanks!

Thank you for this very informative video! Question, someone dig up irises back in may about 3 weeks ago. The rhizomes have been sitting in a bucket in my yard (in Md). At this point should I store them and plant them and plant them later or just put them in the ground? Thank you 🌷

HELLO LOVE IRIS WISH THEY WOULD BLOOM LONGER BUT i STILL PLANT THEM

My previous borer holes were larger and the rhizome gets softer,hopefully you won’t find a borer looking back at you, that usually brings a EEEEKKKKK scream to me.

I dug up my grandmother’s irises in July this past July and I want to plant them now in spring, but I open the box and there’s no green on them. Does this mean that they’re dead or is there a chance they’ll still come back? Thanks for your videos.

Great lesson Jenny. Do you have any Siberian Iris? I divided mine a couple of years ago and all I'm getting is leaves.

Have you found it true that bearded iris won't bloom if it doesn't have 5 leaves? I've always heard that and have noticed any I have don't but the 5 leaved ones do bloom.

I’m confused, should we use bio tone or bulb tone? 🌸💚🙃
